Vol. 59. No. 6, Wednesday, October 17,1979 Saratoga Springs, N.Y. 12866
CGA Unity
by Anne Lowenthal and Stacey Raider
On Thursday October 11, 1979 Senators, Hall Council, Class Presidents, and the five CGA officers left Skidmore and headed for the Adirondacks for the first annual CGA retreat. The purpose of the retreat was to orient CGA members to their responsibilities, and to aquaint members with one another. The bus ride was reminiscent of Summer Camp days. At 8:30 p.m. we arrived at Split Rock, the Adirondack Institute in Elizabethtown, N.Y.
With sleeping bags and knapsacks in hand we hiked to a destination unknown to most of us. After walking for about an eighth of a mile we noticed we were missing Linda Perani (coordinator of the retreat). This is where the insanity began. Rich Harwood yelled, "Hey Linda, Where are we going?" From afar Linda responded "I don't know!" At 8:43 we were heading in what we hoped was the right direction. Step by step, inch by inch, we creeped towards the light at the top of the hill. At 9 p.m. we arrived!
Everyone headed for the fireplace where we were served cookies and soda. Soon we were all thawed out and ready to begin the workshops of the retreat. Activities began by playing a name game to get to know everyone a little bit better. Soon we were all feeling right at home and the CGA officers handed out workshop folders filled with information and munchies. There was a brief discussion and then we all enjoyed the solitude that the wilderness of the Adirondacks offered us. We didn't enjoy the cold, though. While the fire crackled in the fireplace we began to sing. Our fondest childhood memories were brought back to each one of us. Since there was no water in the cabin. Lee Peyser drove us to the bathroom. Lee had to make this trip many more times than he had anticipated. At midnight "Papa Peyser" turned off the lights and we all slept. It wasn't one of the warmest nights but it sure was fun.
Friday morning came awfully early as Lee tromped through the house banging on a pot. It was 7:00 a.m. The breakfast crew created a tremendous meal.
We began to discuss such topics as Student Space, Budget and Charters, and the interrelationships of the clubs, organizations, and other CGA offices. At noon we took a lunch break. Fran Hoffman, Don Hastings and Anita Burnham arrived to participate. After lunch we discussed the responsibilities of Hall Council in relationship to Resident Staff. Some role playing situations were presented to further our understanding of student interaction with administrators. At this point, we broke up into small discussion groups and talked about random topics.
At 4:30 p.m. we had dinner. For the next two hours some remained in the cabin and others explored the Split Rock property. The bus was scheduled to pick us up at 7:00 p.m. At 9:30 we began to doubt if we would ever see Skidmore again. We sang and played charades to amuse ourselves. Our eagerness to return to real beds and toilets became more apparent as we trampled one another to see if the passing headlights were our bus.
In spite of our exhaustion there was a spirit of unity as we got on the bus and headed back to campus. This indicated that the retreat was a success. Congratulations are in order to the five CGA officers for originating and providing us with the retreat.

Commentary: You Have A Voice
by Pamela Savoy
On Wednesday, October 17th, the College Government Association (CGA) will hold a preliminary caucus to propose, discuss and compile a cohesive and complete agenda of student needs and requirements. The ultimate product will be officially presented to the Board of Trustees at the annual Student Life meeting on October 25th.
Although the Student Life Meeeting is of important and intrinsic value to the Skidmore Community, as it is the means by which the student body may communicate directly with the Board, the Pre-Student Life meeting is perhaps of even greater importance for it represents the culmination and compromise of the attitudes and concerns of the student body as voiced to the CGA officers. It is an especially refreshing experience because you need not be especially active politically, indeed you need not be political at all. You needn't be a CGA officer, you needn't belong to any club, nor any organization. All you need be is a registered Skidmore student with an interest in the welfare of yourself and your college.
Many articles/editorials/and 4-letter expletives have been wasted on the nebulous subject of student APATHY. I am myself a fatigued warrior of the same topic; I have significantly depleted my verbal knapsack of 4-letter bullets. I no longer feel even the slightest compulsion to convert the unconvertible. However, I know that there are students, lots of students who do care, who are concerned. It is to these students to whom I appeal. If you care, but as of yet, have found no direction, no vehicle through which to express yourself, your chance has come: your thoughts have found a voice, your ideas a vehicle, all you need do is hop. in.
Come on Skidmore, come on Freshmen, let's give Skidmore a facelift! Make your presence felt at the Pre-Student Life Meeting on Wed. October 17th at 8:00 in Palamountain A. I look forward to hearing your voice.
